Treesa Jolly, Gayatri Gopichand Confirm India’s First Medal at BWF World Championships
Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand rallied from a game down to beat China in three games and clinch India’s first BWF Worlds medal.
- On Friday, Indian women's doubles pair Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand won their BWF Badminton World Championships quarterfinal at the Indira Gandhi Stadium in New Delhi, securing India's first women's doubles medal since 2011.
- After suffering severe ankle ligament and muscle tears earlier this year, Treesa underwent grueling rehabilitation before returning to competition alongside Gayatri at the Indonesia Open.
- The unseeded duo rallied from a first-game loss to defeat China's Jia Yi Fan and Zhang Shu Xian 16-21, 21-15, 21-13 with sharper smashes and tighter net play.
- Securing a semifinal berth guarantees the pair at least a bronze medal, matching the 2011 achievement of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa at the BWF World Championships.
- The pair built this momentum from their 2022 Commonwealth Games bronze and consecutive All England Open semifinal appearances in 2022 and 2023, positioning them as rising forces in women's doubles.
